IV. FACTS
On or about August 20, 2007 , Fenian began operating in Tarrant County, Texas.
On or about November 8, 2007 , Fenian was placed on the approved list of polygraph
examiners in Tarrant County, Texas. See Attached Exhibit A. The top of the document ,
which every sex offender on deferred adjudication or probation receives, clearly states that
the probationer has the choice of who he or she wants to perform the polygraph
examination .
Since November 8, 2007 , Fenian has only performed two polygraph examinations
for sex offenders on probation or deferred adjudication . One was a Tarrant County
probationer and one was a Dallas County probationer . On or about December 13, 2007, a
polygraph examination was scheduled by Doug __ " This polygraph examination was to
be performed by Fenian on December 29, 2007. On Friday, December 28, 2007 , Doug
__ called Fenian and canceled the appointment. When Fenian asked Doug why
he cancelled the appo intment , Fenian was told that Deborah Moore , Doug 's
therapist told him that he had to have a polygraph examination performed by Wood or
Behavioral as they were the only two polygraph examiners that she allowed her patient's to

APPLICATION FOR INJUNCTION . .Cause Number ; Joseph Lawrence McCarthy, Individually and Doing Business As Fenian Polygraph Servicesvs. Debo rah Moore el al. Page 10 of 16
use. If Doug did not have his polygraph examination performed by Wood or
Behavioral , then Ms. Moore would drop him as a client.
On or about December 28,2007 , a message was left with Ms. Moore's office,which
was not returned until January 3, 2008. Ms. Moore admitted that she instructed her
patient's to go to Wood or Behavioral as they were the only two names on her list. She
stated that she was not familiar with Fenian and needed to see examples of the types of
tests that he ran before she would do business with Fenian.
On or about January 3, 2008 , an email was sent to David Kilpatrick , chairperson of
the Community Resources Review Committee ("CRRC") with Tarrant County Community
Supervision and Corrections Department. He responded that "Yes, the P gets to choose ,
and both the treatment provider nor the officer can insist on one over another, period." See
Attached Exhibit B.
On or about January 3, 2008, a cease and desist letter was mailed to Deborah
Moore , which was received on or about January 4, 2008. See Attached Exhibit C.
On or about January 3, 2008 , there was further clarification with David Kilpatrick,
wherein he stated that "The rule dealing with this in the MOU basically states that one
provider (of any kind) cannot refer a probationer to another provider (of any kind) unless
this is approved by the officer beforehand." See Attached Exhibit 0 and Attached Exhibit
E.
There is a meeting of the CRRC that is scheduled for the end of January or the first
part of February. At that meeting , it is to be decided whether or not a sex offender who is
on deferred adjudication or probation shall or shall not go to the polygraph examiner of his
ORIGINAL PETITION FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT; APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER ; AND
APPLICATION FOR INJUNCTION .Cause Number ; Joseph Lawrence McCarthy, Individually and Doing Business As Fenian Polygraph Servicesvs. Deborah Moore et al. Page 11 of 16
or her choice with no outside interference from the sex offender therapist or the Tarrant
County Community Supervision and Corrections Department. Fenian cannot wait until the
CRRC meets to discuss this issue.
Prior to the opening of Fenian, Joseph Lawrence McCarthy performed
approximately five polygraph examinations per day with Dalhousie Polygraph Services in
Richardson, Texas. There are only sixteen polygraph examiners in the Metroplex,
including Mr. McCarthy, who are certified to perform polygraph examinations on sex
offenders under the Joint Polygraph Committee on Offender Testing ("JPCOT"). With
several hundred sex offenders in the Metroplex, it is inconceivable that Fenian would only
have one Tarrant County probationer in two months. Meanwhile, Behavioral and Wood are
booked solid for sex offender polygraph examinations. The only plausible explanation for
this is that the sex offender therapists in Tarrant County , Texas are diverting business
away from Fenian in clear violation of the current policies of Tarrant County, Texas .
The diversion of business has harmed Fenian financially. A test was canceled for
$175.00 and Fenian incurred legal expenses in excess of $5,000 .00 by the time this
petition is filed.
The diversion of business also creates a monopoly of Wood and Behavioral. By
those two companies performing almost all of the polygraph examinations of sex offenders
on probation or deferred adjudication , it negates the free choice that the sex offender
probations have when it is time for their polygraph examinations. A monopoly or a market
with no free choice should not survive in a country such as ours that is based on free will.

Hi Mr. Kilparick,
I hope you had a good holiday. I have a question for you . It appears from the approved polygraphexaminers list that the probationer has the choice of who to pick for a polygraph exam. What is thepenalty for a sex offender therapist in Tarrant County telling a probationer that he has to go to one of twopeople instead of Joey or she will kick him out of group therapy? Please call me on my cell at 214-2282858 .
Thank you,Hollie Greene

Re: Fenian Polygraph Services
Dear Ms. Moore:
Please be advised that I represent Joseph L. McCarthy and Fenian Polygraph Services.Based on our conversation today, along with further research and correspondence with TarrantCounty, it is reprehensible that you, as a listed co-chairperson of the JPCOT guidelines, wouldconsistently violate the policies of Tarrant County and the Texas Department of Health andHuman Services by insisting that your clients only receive polygraph examinations from RichardWood or Eric Holden. Ironically, these two gentlemen are some of the polygraph examinerslisted on the JPCOT guidelines.
Because of your unethical behavior in not fully disclosing to your clients that they do havethe final say as to who performs their polygraph examinations, my client has lost money due toa cancelled test. Because this probationer fears repercussions from you, he wishes to remainanonymous.
You have ten days from the receipt of this letter to submit a cashier's check to my clientfor $175.00 , which is the cost of the test that was cancelled, and a cashier 's check for $500.00made payable to the Law Offices of Bob Leonard for attorney's fees.
If you do not immediately cease and desist from violating known policies of TarrantCounty and Texas Department of Health and Human Services and harming my client financially,then I shall be forced to pursue further action.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Great. Yeah, we can do that. We just se nt suc h a letter to one provid er. It's awarning lette r stating that continuing to do this wil l lead to suspen sion of referra lsto them. The rule dealing with this in the MO U basically stat es that one provider (ofany kind) cannot refer a probatione r to another prov ider (of any kind) unless this isapproved by the off icer beforehand . Th is was put in main ly to deal with substan ceabus e provide rs kicki ng someon e out and sendi ng the m to another prov ider wlothe office r's know ledge, w hich was a common iss ue . The strange symbiot icrelati onshi p betw een sex offender prov iders and poly graphers hasn't beenaddr essed to cla rify this doctr ine with them, but it is ove rdue . The problem I cansee ar ising from this is twofold :1) the officer w ill agree wit h the provider and con fi rm to the probation er that theyare to go to XYZ polyg rapher as instructed by the provider2) Th is w ill negate the "free choice " of the probati oner to choose , but thecome back fro m the provid ers & polyg raphe rs w ill be to say they have a partne rshipof som e sort and that it is thei r profe ssional j udgem ent that they only use oneprov iderTh is w ill ultimat ely have to be settled by the department and/or the co urts.

I will get that information out to you ASAP . Joey is checking his voicemail to confirm the probationer's lastname. Is there any way that Tarrant County can send a letter to the sex offender therap ists to reiterate tothem that the polygraph examiner is the choice of the probat ioner and no one else?

Hi Mr. Kilparick,
I hope you had a good holiday. I have a question for you . It appears from the approvedpolygraph examiners list that the probationer has the choice of who to pick for a polygraphexam. What is the penalty for a sex offender therapist in Tarrant County tell ing aprobationer that he has to go to one of two people instead of Joey or she will kick him outof group therapy? Please call me on my cell at 214-228-2858.
Thank you ,Hollie Greene
